Hello,

I'm a new BlueTooth user. I'm working on a nice project [1] which consists =

to turn an astronomic mount into a panoramic head. I hacked the protocol =

between the head and the remote, and made a little serial interface to =

take control from a computer. The protocol is ascii, and the interface =

only consists to adapt levels.

Then, the idea is to plug a BT/serial converter to this interface to drive =

the head from a PDA. So, I bought a AIRcable Serial3 hardware, which is a =

nice product, because it is possible to program it to do higher level =

tasks. But for now, I'm just trying to use it as a simple converter, with =

the default firmeware.

And I need your help to access it from linux/debian. Manuel Naranjo helped =

me a lot, but I still have strange issues. And I would also like to =

understand how Bluetooth is implemented under linux; there seems to have a =

lot of layers, and it is not simple... So, if someone could summarize all =

this for me...

I also need to know how to use the serial protocol to access the Serial3 =

hardware as any other serial port. I tired to use rfcomm, but, again, I'm =

not sure to clearly undertand whait it is supposed to do.

Last thing: I'm a python developper, so I like very much all python =

examples on Bluez wiki ;o)

Thank you very much for you help.

There is a link to the french wiki, which is more up-to-date. I didn't take =

the time to translate it...
